Where I come from (vancouver bc, hong kong, and china) saying something like "not everyone can drive a BMW like you" would probably be leaning towards an insult more than a hater remark. BMW is becoming such a common car that there's really nothing special about it anymore nor is it even that expensive compared to others. The market has changed and baller cars are becoming more baller and our beloved brand is becoming cheaper in brand value IMO.
To the remark above about Nissan's, yeah the guy is right about a maxima having more features and he did get it cheaper. I've been driving a Murano for the past 3 years, put over 80k kms on it and its freakin awesome, love every bit of it and satisfies all my needs for an SUV best bang for the buck. Did i really need to pay a lot more for an X5, ML, Touraeg, Cayenne etc? I like it so much I'm moving into an Infiniti FX next month because I found a new love with Japanese cars.
Most people get a (mostly german) brand name car just because of the badge and what it seems to represent. I've been driving BMW's for 15 years now and i'm honestly saying that the real value of what BMW use to represent is long gone but it sure is great for their bottom line since every soccer mom can get in one without problems.
I guess im venting a little about how this brand has changed and gone soft. I guess im just old fashioned and still stuck in the E36 era, but that era is what made me love this brand. Remember those 240hp ///M machines? That's something to be proud of. You're now telling me the the car's insulation is too good that we need speakers to hear the goddamn V8 twin turbo engine? Kinda childish, no? Sorry if I've pissed off some people or have put down BMW's. I'm still driving one but I seriously can't say that I like it more than a stupid looking murano. Sorry murano owners too.
